I'm making my third One Skein Shawl by Marly Bird, it will make a great prayer shawl if made larger. Cinnamon Stitches has a video on how to make a Fudgit Shawl, that would also make a beautiful prayer shawl when finished too. There are so many free patterns to knit or crochet on Ravelry. They have an app for phones.
Thank you for this wonderful video of how knitting and prayer can make such a difference. I have decided to start teaching knitting to my church sisters so that we can start a Prayer Shawl group for our small town. Do you get all your patterns from books or online? i would be very interested in the pattern Pat is knitting in the video. God Bless . Robin
There are free patterns on Ravelry, I'm making my third One Skein Shawl by Marly Bird, and a lady left a comment about how she made the shawl bigger and changed the edging to make it a prayer shawl. I think any shawl pattern can be used as long as it goes over the shoulders and upper arms. And shrugs are great for giving too. I hope this helps you make shawls to give to people in need. God bless you.
